17 Best Face Cleansers

Is the No. 1 skin care product from Clinique? Cetaphil? Nope! Read on to find out

When it comes to the art of face washing, we ladies take it pretty seriously. We carefully select our skin care products and practically give ourselves a facial in the A.M. and P.M. We do this ritual in the morning to look and feel refreshed and awake (even when we likely get less than six hours of sleep). And then we wash the day off of our faces in the evening, removing all traces of makeup, as well as any dirt and excess oil.

But a cleanser is a cleanser, right? Don't they all do the same job? Hardly. Our readers gave us their two cents about which cleansers made their faces squeaky clean -- without leaving their skin feeling like the Sahara. What product was ranked No. 1 by TotalBeauty.com readers?

This list of skin care products has got something for everyone. There are formulas for all different skin types, from sensitive to acne-prone to combination to dry to oily and even those of us with rosacea. You can choose from bars or pump soaps, mild or deep cleansers and take your pick from exfoliating, creamy, foamy or even frothy types. You'll see that these skin care products give our readers their best skin ever and helps them put their, um, best face forward every day.
